Christian Brennan
Creative Designer
Specializing in product UI/UX design for web and mobile applications and creating learnable, meaningful experiences for users. It's all about the work, the challenge and constantly striving to learn.
current skillsets
I made my bones in traditional print design (brand ID, corporate collateral, custom illustration, booth display, presentation design, print and online advertising and video editing). About ten years in, I migrated over to HTML email and landing pages. Now my work is more focused on user stories + flows, wireframing, design thinking concepts, prototyping, frontend development with HTML, Bootstrap CSS + jQuery and usability testing. See resume below for the the complete breakdown.

My Human-Centered Approach
Keeping our users at the forefront for all decisions.
user experience
We surveyed and interviewed users who used our products. This data helped us make the informed decisions we needed to truly make a difference.
white boarding + prototyping
I'm all in on that Figma / FigJam life. Now I can share and collaborate with developers like never before.
user interface
We spent time researching best practices in frontend development and made sure our code was accessible, flexible and lean.
design evolution
